In 190 AD, in the first year of the early Han Dynasty, the body of Xun Shuang, the original Sikong in early June, was brought back to Yingchuan by the Xun clan for burial with the permission of Dong Zhuo, and Xun Yu and Xun You, who were the core figures of the Northern Xinjiang regime, in order to fulfill their filial piety, asked Liu Tai to let the two of them return to the Hui clan to participate in Xun Shuang's funeral, Liu Tai allowed it, and on behalf of the imperial court, he gave Xun a Jingzhong plaque to show his respect for Xun Shuang.

In 190 AD, the first year of the early Han Dynasty, in mid-June, the report of the Western Regions 800 miles of urgent war was transmitted to Huacheng, theoretically, the new commander Dianfen agreed to all the conditions of Liu Tai, but in terms of compensation, I hope that Liu Tai can be reduced to fifty percent, in order to avoid the prolongation of the war in the Western Regions, Liu Tai "reluctantly" agreed to Dianafen's request, and at the same time Dianfen proposed an invitation, hoping that Liu Tai, the god king of Northern Xinjiang, can go to rest for a visit, and promise to give Liu Tai a very different feeling from the Central Plains. Go to rest in peace? Well, when the army is at rest in the future, Liu Tai will be willing to have a cordial outing with Dianfen.

The rest army retreated, with the permission of Liu Tai, less than half a month, that is, in the middle of July, all left the Western Regions and returned to China to quell the chaos, at this time the northern Xinjiang will face the attitude of the countries in the Western Regions, after all, Liu Tai a royal edict, nominally changed the Western Regions to Xizhou, and the monarchs and ministers of the countries in the Western States have become the people of the Han Dynasty, and they are not disgusted.

In order to prevent the rebellion of the countries in the Western Regions, Liu Taizeng went to the Western Regions with 50,000 soldiers, and the command was still handed over to Wen Chou, so that Wen Chou, who was the governor of Xizhou, became one of the super warlords of the Northern Xinjiang regime, with as many as 170,000 soldiers and horses under his command!!

Of course, Liu Tai is not a fool, it is impossible to fully trust Wen Chou, as the saying goes, I am not afraid of 10,000, I am only afraid of what happens, in case Wen Chou has any thoughts, it will have a huge impact on the Northern Xinjiang regime!

After thinking about it left and right, Liu Tai appointed Sun Ce, the Taishou Gonggong of Xindu, as the envoy of Xizhou, in charge of the affairs of various countries in the Western Regions, and at the same time had the right to impeach Wen Chou and Ji Liang.

For Liu Tai's move, there are also praises and belittlements, and even in the Tianci army in the Western Regions, there are different voices, after all, Liu Tai plays such a hand, it is a bit excessive, it will inevitably leave a psychological shadow on Wen Chou, in order to avoid this situation, Liu Tai wrote a handwritten letter to Wen Chou, hoping that Wen Chou can understand his difficulties.

In fact, Wen Chou is indeed a little dissatisfied with Liu Tai's means, after all, no one likes to have a Shang Fang sword on his head, but after Liu Tai's handwritten letter, Wen Chou immediately threw away all unrealistic ideas, think about it, Wen Chou has everything now that Liu Tai gave, if there is any dissatisfaction with Liu Tai, doesn't it mean that he is very close to death?

Although Wen Chou is not stupid, Liu Tai's move is obviously to hope that Wen Chou can come back to his senses, and Wen Chou also just understood Liu Tai's intentions, and after understanding, Wen Chou immediately stated in the army that Liu Tai's move was for the good of the brothers of the Heavenly Army and Wen Chou himself, and whoever dares to speak again is disrespectful to the God King, and Wen Chou will inevitably implement some special means.

Wen Chou's actions perfectly suppressed all the voices, and Gongsun Ce also arrived at the Elite City of the Western Regions in due time, although the original Elite City was a kingdom, but the population was not large, and the main battlefield of the Heavenly Army and the rest of the country was in the Elite area, making the population of thousands of households in the Elite Country almost dead.

Of course, it doesn't matter if a person dies, sooner or later they will be able to recover, and the most important thing is that the royal vein of the Elite Kingdom is cut off, which is a very important thing, Liu Tai's meaning, although the officials are very clear, but they can't be in a hurry, the most important thing at this time is to find the orthodox heir of the Elite Royal Family, and ensure that the bloodline of the Exquisite Royal Family continues to multiply in the Western Regions.

Sometimes, it's not just something you can do if you want to do it.

Although Gongsun Ce has the intention to find the descendants of the Elite Royal Family to inherit the royal line, the remaining population of the entire Elite Kingdom at this time is only more than a thousand people, and with a casual sweep of his eyes, he can see the bottom in a row, and he can't find the so-called royal bloodline at all, what if he doesn't have it?

There is a way, the extremely smart Gongsun Ce rolled his eyes, and simply grabbed the strong man directly, and picked out a pawn who looked similar to the Western Regions from the 50,000 reinforcements that came with Gongsun Ce's passage, don't doubt it, this pawn is an orthodox Han Chinese, but there is a bit of a problem with the ancestral bloodline, and when it is passed to the pawn, he looks more like a person from the Western Regions.

In order to let the elite people understand the "true identity" of this pawn, Gongsun Ce made up a large number of stories, and rehearsed the ancestor of the pawn as the prince who once lost power and fled from the country

The pawn is named Liu Fang, if it is counted, it should also be regarded as a side branch of the Han family, although at this time it is only a small country with no more than 10,000 people, but also satisfied, under the promise of Gongsun Ce, Liu Fang ascended the throne of the king of the exquisite country, and swore in public to lead the people of the exquisite people on the road to prosperity

The matter of the Elite Kingdom is put aside for the time being, let's take a look at the situation in the whole territory of the Western Regions, as we all know, the situation in the Western Regions is not good at this time, the Huns were driven away, and the people of Anci came, and the Anxian people were driven away by the Tianci army, and the Tianci army became the master of the Western Regions again.

In just two years, the situation in the Western Regions has changed a lot, a few families are happy and a few are sad, it is not clear at present, but compared with the first two, the rule of the Heavenly Army is still relatively modest, at least it did not send troops into the royal cities of various countries to hold the kings hostage, which also made the kings of various countries breathe a sigh of relief.

But then came, after the news of changing the Western Regions to Xizhou was confirmed, the countries of the Western Regions suddenly became anxious like ants on a hot pot, the Western Regions are adjacent to Liangzhou, and they are very clear about the customs of the Han Dynasty, the appointment of officials, the establishment of states and counties, and the kings of these small countries also know a little.

It stands to reason that the Western Regions was originally a subject country of the Han Dynasty, and it would be okay to have a Western Regions Protectorate, but I didn't think that Liu Tai would do such a desperate thing, and suddenly changed the Western Regions to Xizhou, and even set the Elite City as the Western Regions Governor's Office, and established the so-called Thorn History Mansion.

It doesn't matter if you suffer, as long as the throne is still there, there will always be a day of relief, but these kings know very well that the Han Dynasty has a rule, those with different surnames are not allowed to be kings, you know, these kings have no surname Liu, so in this way, aren't the kings all going to be deprived of their thrones?

Depriving the throne, these kings are resolutely disapproves, although some small countries don't care, but the attitude of the big countries is obvious, that is, the population is all over, and they do not recognize such a "cruel" rule in northern Xinjiang, if Liu Tai dares to pay attention to their throne, they will unify the identity, and will resolutely lead the people under their command to fight with the northern Xinjiang!

Well, when this happens, it is naturally the turn of Gongsun Ce, who has superior wisdom, to play, you must know that Gongsun Ce's position as a strategic envoy is mainly to solve the strange emotions that these kings may have.

This is a big project, I won't say it one by one for the time being, in fact, it's very simple, Gongsun Ce's main thing to do is to win over a group, divide a group, and then eradicate a group, this plan was as early as Huacheng, the core people in Northern Xinjiang have been discussed under the auspices of Liu Tai, Gongsun Ce is just an executor, of course, in the situation in the Western Regions, the executor is very, very important to the success or failure of the plan.

================= look back, the situation in the Western Regions has come to an end temporarily, at this time the timeline has turned to 190 AD, the first year of the early Han Dynasty, in mid-July, let's take a look at the situation in Chang'an.

After Xun Shuang's death, Sikong's position has been vacant, Dong Zhuo in order to be unimpeded on the issue of minting small money, appointed the good old man as Sikong, well, the title of good man is a bit ironic, in fact, it means that he is timid and afraid of things, and he does not dare to go against Dong Zhuo.

But why is the current court more than timid? I'm afraid that none of the hundred officials of the imperial court, including Wang Yun, dare to disagree with Dong Zhuo? Don't you see, Xun Shuang objected to Dong Zhuo's casting of small money, and his soul returned to the west the next day? They still have a good life, and they don't want to follow the old Sikong Xun Shuang.

In the same month, a major event occurred in Chang'an, Nanyang Taishou, the guard general Yuan Shu secretly contacted Dahonglu Han Rong, Shaofu Yin Xiu, Jin Wu Hu Mu Ban, Wu Xiu, the master craftsman, and Wang Gui, the captain of the Yue Cavalry, to get rid of Dong Zhuo together. (Note: This matter is different from history, in history these people are to persuade the Kwantung princes to admit the existence of the imperial court, and now history is different, I hope you can understand it) Dong Zhuo is the most disgusted by the rebellion of the lower officials, it is reported that although there are not many people who take the lead this time, and the highest official position of these people is Jiuqing, but the participants are indeed extremely large, covering most of the middle and lower-level officials in Sanfu, so that Dong Zhuo is completely angered!

Bloodbath, naked bloodbath, the number of deaths in just a few days as high as 10,000, Dong Zhuo originally ordered the arrest of the court officials headed by Dahonglu Han Rong, and the officials who were arrested at the same time accounted for as much as half of the number of officials, after these officials were taken away, the court was suddenly "empty", and the hundred officials of the court headed by Wang Yun did not look at Dong Zhuo when he was discussing politics in the court, which caused Dong Zhuo to do whatever he wanted, without the slightest scruples, and the little emperor Liu Xie, needless to say, was not even qualified to put a fart.

Of course, there are advantages to fewer officials, but also disadvantages, that is, the public security in Chang'an, including the Sanfu area, began to be chaotic, at this time the incident involved as many as hundreds, plus relatives and families, tens of thousands of people are more than tens, tens of thousands of people were killed and blood flowed, and some officials were killed, which also made the middle and lower levels of the Chang'an regime in a vacuum.

Dong Zhuo is not a fool, he knows that the vacuum state must not be maintained for a long time, otherwise it will have a huge impact on the nascent Chang'an regime, but the problem is that Chang'an does not have any talent reserves, how can it be compared with Northern Xinjiang? Are there countless talented students?

In desperation, Dong Zhuo could only make a will that simply caused the destruction of the Chang'an regime, that is, let the army control the place, what army? The brutal and cold-blooded Xiliang Army!!

Vicious! Dong Zhuo's trick is ruthless, let the soldiers manage the place, isn't this to turn the Sanfu region into a ghost domain in the world? But what should Dong Zhuo Neng, who lacks talents, do? Could it be that the will to retract the will to kill the traitorous party? Dong Zhuo can't do it!

Of course, there are some people in the rebel party, Dong Zhuo still made an exception and released them, that is, Han Rong, Han Rong is very statement in the government and the opposition, and Xun Shuang, Zheng Xuan and other fourteen people, in the early years, with the doctor, the personal relationship is very good, now Xun Shuang has just died, Dong Zhuo has become the target of public criticism, if you kill the famous Han Rong who is good friends with Xun Shuang, it is obviously a little unreasonable.

Solve these officials who like to talk a lot, Dong Zhuo's plan to create a small amount of money is officially on track, without any objections, Dong Zhuo ordered people to dissolve nine of the twelve bronze men of the first emperor, and get nearly one billion copper coins, with these copper coins, Dong Zhuo built a Yiwu outside Chang'an, which not only has the wealth that Dong Zhuo has gathered for decades since his debut, but also countless warblers and swallows surrounding Dong Zhuo, and the pomp is simply bigger than the emperor.

At this time, as the emperor, Liu Xie lived in the dilapidated Chang'an Palace without any decoration in the past, and the situation was very miserable, and it was even rumored that Liu Xie's food supply was not as good as a young general in the Xiliang Army, pitiful

Not only Liu Xie is pitiful, since a billion small money flowed into the whole territory of Sanfu, the situation of the people everywhere is even more miserable, you know, Sanfu's food is already expensive and scary, and now the small money has destroyed the market, resulting in the price of food rising, it is said that in Chang'an City, a stone of rice needs a full forty or fifty thousand new money to buy, and there is no market

Miserable, the entire Sanfu region can be said to have become a ghost domain in the world, and the people can not only suffer from the deprivation of the gate lord clan, but also endure the insults and brutal killings of the Xiliang soldiers all day long, how long can Sanfu last? How long can Dong Zhuo's glorious era last?

======== the people in the Sanfu area can't live, on the contrary, the people in the Central Plains are slowly beginning to resume production, but there is a special case, that is, the Qingzhou area, Qingzhou still has yellow turbans at this time, and the scale is getting bigger and bigger, and even claims to have millions of soldiers, such a bad situation, how can Qingzhou Mu Hanfu, Beihai Taishou Kong Rong and others support it?

In desperation, after the discussion of the princes of Qingzhou, Han Fu came forward and invited Yuan Shao to lead troops to Qingzhou to quell the war.

Of course, the Yellow Turban Army can't rely on its mouth to subdue Yuan Yi, Yuan Shao learned from the public that the commander of the Yellow Turban Army was Zhang Niujiao, the disciple of Zhang Jiao back then, who was very prestigious in the army, and was not an easy person to deal with.

Although the million Yellow Turban Army is a bit exaggerated, in fact, there are absolutely two or three hundred thousand young people, after all, Qingzhou's wealth is famous, in the troubled times, what is the most important?

Population!

Chaps!

Yes, it is a strong man, as long as there is a strong man, he can expand the army, as long as he expands the army, he can invade the territory of others, for these two or three hundred thousand Qingzhou, Yuan Shao can be said to be covetous, under the premise that Han Fu and others are willing to provide money and food, Yuan Shao went into battle, commanded 50,000 Taishan troops, and personally conquered the Qingzhou Yellow Turban Thieves!

At this time, the princes have already thought in confusion, although Yuan Shao's position as the leader of the alliance has no actual power, but the deterrent power is still there, the most important thing is that Yuan Shao still has the Chongguo Sword given by Liu Tai in his hand, and the significance of the Chongguo Sword is extraordinary, which means that Yuan Shao has the support of the god king Liu Tai behind him, and Yuan Shao's every move has been approved by Liu Tai!

In fact, for Liu Tai, Yuan Shao is really very entangled, Yuan Shao hopes that Liu Tai will go south as soon as possible and end this troubled era, and Yuan Shao himself can also make contributions under Liu Tai and create another glory of the Yuan family, but he is a little unwilling in his heart, after all, Yuan Shao's power is also quite large at this time, with nearly 100,000 soldiers and horses under his command, and the unification of the Central Plains can be waited.

Of course, Yuan Shao also has dissatisfaction with Liu Tai, that is, Liu Tai is too tough on the treatment of the gate lord clan, Yuan Shao's main component of the force at this time is the gate lord clan, if Liu Tai really goes south in the future, even if Yuan Shao has the heart to surrender to Liu Tai, but the generals under his command Wenchen is also a big difficulty.

In any case, this expedition to Qingzhou is the first step for Yuan Shao to take the hegemony of the Central Plains, if Liu Tai goes south, if he does not go south, then the princes will fight their own way, one day someone will fight Liu Tai, is the dragon or the worm will meet Zhenzhang when the time comes.

Sitting on the gorgeous carriage, as the commander of the whole army, Yuan Shao, who was in charge of Qingzhou, was very excited at this time, because Yuan Shao had already seen Qingzhou, which was about to become his own territory, although he was a little complacent, but indeed, there were only two big forces in Qingzhou, one Han Fu and one Kong Rong, Han Fu needless to say, Yuan's retainer was not a threat to Yuan Shao.

As for Kong Rong, he is a scholar, if it weren't for the fact that his family was very powerful in Beihai, how could he sit in Beihai? The most important thing is that Kong Rong is not good at training, and his soldiers can be said to be completely shrimp soldiers and crab generals, and they are not in Yuan Shao's eyes at all.

"Lord, although the Marquis of Jiaodong is weak, but Beihai City under his rule is indeed high and strong, and it is difficult to capture in a short time, if our army attacks strongly, the damage must be not small, in the opinion of humble duty, it is better to solve the Yellow Turban Thief first? After all, it is justified for our army to conquer the Yellow Turban Thieves at this time. The space in the ornate carriage was very large, and I saw Yuan Shao sitting in the first place, and below him were three or four officials dressed as scribes.

These three or four people are Yuan Shao's henchmen, and the one who spoke was Wu Zhuo, who had surrendered to Yuan Yu in the past, and on Wu Zhuo's side was Xu You, and opposite Xu You and Wu Zhuo were a pair of twins, the twins looked the same, and there was no difference in the clothes on their bodies, even the most familiar people were afraid that they would not be able to identify them.

These two twins are not small, they are local people in Qingzhou, when the yellow scarves were not chaotic, they were named to go to Huacheng to compete, and achieved good results in the big competition, and were known as the four heroes of Beihai by the world, and the two brothers each occupied one of the seats. (Note: The head of the Four Heroes of Beihai is Kong Rong)
